What's included in this plan set

Foundation Plan: Includes detailed information about the foundation layout including concrete walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls, and foundation notes. If the home features a basement, the first-floor framing details may also be included on this plan. If your plan features slab construction rather than a basement, the plan shows footings and details for a monolithic slab. This page, or another in the set, may include a sample plot plan for locating your house on a building site. Additional sheets focus on foundation cross-sections and other details. In some instances a designer may only provide what is commonly referred to as a foundation schematic or plumbing plan. These types of drawings only show the footprint of the foundation and do not include foundation construction details.

Floor Plans: Show the layout of each floor of the house. Rooms and interior spaces are carefully dimensioned and include locations of doors and windows. Plans will also include and markers indicating cross-section details provided elsewhere in the plans if applicable.

Building Sections: Building sections show changes in floor, ceiling, or roof height, and / or the relationship of one level to another. These sections show how the various parts of the house fit together and are valuable during construction.

Electrical Plans: The electrical plan offers suggested locations with notes for all lighting, outlets, switches, and some other electrical appliances. A layout is provided for each level, as well as basements, garages, or other structures. This plan does not contain diagrams detailing how all wiring should be run, or how circuits should be engineered. These details should be designed by your electrician.

Exterior Elevations: In addition to the front exterior, your drawing set will include drawings of the rear and sides of your house as well. These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes. Particular attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents, or other finish items that make your home unique.

Construction Details: Most drawings sets include typical construction details. These details may include the foundation, interior walls, exterior walls, floors, stairways, and / or roof details.

“We're taking the complication out of creating energy-efficient Craftsman-style
home plans and communities. It's an incremental process that homeowners and builders
don't have to be afraid of.”

Brooks Ballard founded Home Patterns LLC in 2001. With a Masters in Architecture
from Georgia Tech and a Masters in City Design and Social Science from the London
School of Economics, he brings a holistic perspective to the design of homes and
communities.

Experience working with affordable housing experts to produce inexpensive
houses that fit into surrounding bungalow neighborhoods lead Brooks to develop reinvigorated
Craftsman style home plans that not only reduce the initial carbon footprints, but
also work well in infill construction and newer, small-lot developments. It's a
"build green" approach. Home widths are based on 4-foot increments for less waste
during construction. Bump outs are kept to a minimum because extra corners are expensive,
energy-inefficient, and time consuming to build. Roof lines are simple. Less waste
and complication means savings that can be put into energy-efficient appliances,
solar power, and/or insulation. Smaller but well functioning living spaces mean
less energy is needed over the long haul. A smaller footprint means less valuable
land is needed. More compact housing encourages walking and mixed use neighborhoods.
This translates into healthier living, more freedom of movement and choice, and
less reliance on polluting fossil fuels.

Brooks' home plan packages allow any builder
to construct a first class energy-efficient and sustainable Craftsman-style home
that's comparable in price to a "normal home." Energy-efficient, green details are
called out separately on our Green Sheets so that a builder can learn incrementally.
Think of the plan package as an introduction to sustainable design. The builders
can learn and incorporate these details at their own pace while realizing the interconnectedness
of each system.

Important Information

All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.

All house plans from Houseplans are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.

In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.

In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.

Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
